I cannot find a new thread for Rutland 2015. Is that right?

No, surely it can't be :o
The jury's out, I'm just showin' ya ;-)
IMAGICAT
I don't think the wing is wonky enough for Blue28. It's rather strange tho, the way he looks quite guilty on the nest at first.
He came back, just as sheepish:
There was a flash, probably of a wing?
He left, then returned just now, as did Mrs5R, and this was more like it!
Was an empty nest when I first looked some mins ago, but somewhere here now.

She was alone, then I heard mating, and 33 was wobbling all over the place getting into position I guess LOL.... a quick mate then he is off again.... by that I mean he flew off again :-)
Lol, MARY, I've just come here with a video demonstrating Blue33's lack of mating skills, poor Mrs5R was left with her tail in the air more than once, the last time was hilarious (if you are not an osprey):
Another no-go just occurred - Maya flew off for some peace and quiet, she had been sitting in her nestcup but kept getting disturbed ;-D
Oh 33 "master builder extraordinaire" has just delivered a big bunch of flowers for Maya (well twigs really but maybe flowers in Osprey world) and she doesn't know where to put them. LOL
EDIT: Probably an apology for his dodgy mating ROTFL....
Oh and apologies to all those who don't like the amorphization bits, it is only a bit of light banter.
Good morning ladies.
Birdies LG DU update.
Thanks for the mating video Scylla, it was hilarious. The very last bit looked like she was saying "gerr aff ye fool" He may be inexperienced now but if it is anything like his nest building skills he will be a quick learner.
